In a brochure presenting the new headquarters of the International Labour Organization (ILO), Alberto Camenzind, one of its three architects, explained that the urban landscape of his native Ticino is defined by its church steeples. Perched on a hill in the Morillons neighbourhood, the ILO would one day stand as “one of Geneva’s defining structures”, he added.(1) He was right.

It may seem strange to devote a chapter of a book about the architectural history of Geneva's international quarter to the buildings of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) — given the absence of architecture they represent. However, this absence itself is symptomatic of the ICRC’s moral dimension. One would expect that the world’s largest humanitarian organization could exist only in modest, even temporary quarters, since its mission is rooted in the ideal of a world without war.

The cluster of buildings on the Place des Nations that house the activities of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) embodies a slice of Geneva’s architectural history. Between the building of a first, austere office block, designed by Pierre Braillard, in 1961 and the inauguration of a lavish new conference room in 2014, construction techniques and architectural tastes have undergone a radical shift.

Meteorology is forward-looking by nature. Its time horizon is the next hour, the next day, a week, a month, or even several years from now – in a word, the future. The tyranny of the future gives meteorologists a knack for sensing which direction the wind is blowing.

The six petals of azure glass, strung like a garland along the train tracks in Sécheron, are a manifesto for peace: the fluid, sinuous structures reflected in each other symbolise both the fragility and complexity of peace, and its supremacy over the banality of violence. Its owner, the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID), is in fact a product of the peace of the 1920s and 1930s, a peace as brief as it was fruitful.

The children’s storybook is collection of worldwide tales, popular to different regions. The tales work together and highlight some of the global challenges humanity faces today, such as hunger, human rights, discrimination, education, women empowerment, migration and climate change. The stories we know, therefore, don’t follow the traditional route; rather they are adapted to fit into the modern day framework.

Seen from a distance or from above, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is an aesthetically uninspiring conglomerate of office buildings, workshops, and laboratories. If not for the globe installed at its entrance in 2004, as a visitors’ centre, this industrial park-like complex, devoid of architectural interest, would go completely unnoticed. Like the International Committee of the Red Cross, CERN has always been built under pressure, with little concern for appearance.

These lines were written as “International Geneva” prepares to celebrate its first century, which began in 1919 with the arrival of the ILO, the only one of all the international organizations created by the Treaty of Versailles to have survived until the present with its name and basic configuration intact. This Genevan century reads like a history of the world: ideas of how to keep the peace, methods to implement them, and organizations to do so, brought together in a single place, as if internationalism needed a port of call to spread across the world.
